Dow at about 9300.

2008 GDP estimated to be about $14.3 trillion.

Present US debt about $11 trillion (almost 100% of GDP!).

US trade deficit averages about $60 billion per month.

Unemployment at about 6%.

OBL still running around free.

Afghanistan not secure.

About 12 million illegal aliens in our borders (including Barack's aunt).





Yes, we should really measure this in January, when the next President takes office. Add the MEANINGFUL numbers here. We can re-visit in 2012, and let's see what this next genius from either the Dumbocraps or Republikkkans does.

You'll see it will be nothing, but more of the same.

And you have nothing constructive to add to this quantitative evaluation? This is the way to do it. Post up the measurables. Or are you afraid to?

I thought of a few more:

Average individual income.

Average household income. Now at $50,233. This will need to be adjusted for inflation.

Average annual sick leave.

Medicare spending as a percentage of the budget.

Social security spending as a percentage of the budget.










Let's stop the hand waving anecdotal garbage that the two big parties have only been capable of. Let's measure, evaluate, and then decide.

When a truck is barreling downhill, you can't just step in front of it and have it stop. You have to slow it down little by little until it stops, then you pull it back up the hill. The blame belongs squarely on the shoulders of the party that sent the truck barreling down the hill in the first place.

Is this BigBermBuster/Oldmotoguy again? How many names do you have? Also, what do you mean by them going after your 401Ks?

I have officially changed my vote to Obama. I have finally been talked into it by Dave and Bonpony here. There is no way I will be able to live with McCain in charge for the next 4 years if I have to continue to hear their shit. So I am rooting for Obama and then I'm going to post here every day for the length of the presidency on every concievable fuck up that involves this nation.
